: seems to work.

: an essential part of this arrangement are the two KajakSport
: adjusters on the rudder lines above the rear deck. with them one
: can center the rudder easily AND control the tension of the
: lines. with higher tension the rudder action stiffens, and it
: can be trimmed to eliminate weathercocking and left alone ie. it
: will stay where it is and the kayaker can enjoy full support
: with no need to constantly mind the rudder.

: or the tensoin can be low and then the rudder is very responsive
: but needs constant attention.

Nice idea risto.
Perhaps you could put a piece of wood with serrations behind the lever to set it instead of the KayakSport adjusters on the deck.
You could also have another lever for lifting and dropping it suspended from the deck above it pointing back towards you.
